Today’s episode is all about Diamond Jim Moran, one of the most colorful New Orleans characters in the early to mid 20th century.

The last show was an interview of me by Mr. James Cullen. I’d resisted doing that for a long time, but I finally gave in.

It was fun for me and I think it turned out pretty well. If you missed it go back and give it a listen. I think you'll enjoy it. An Interview With Me - Episode #133

Today’s episode is an interview of me by James Cullen, a previous guest on the podcast.

The last show was Q&A show where LIz Wood and I answered questions from listeners like you about a variety of New Orleans topics.

Join me as I answer listener questions on a range of topics including real estate, live music, and more.

I'm joined by Liz Wood, a local realtor and podcast sponsor as we tackle more than a dozen of your questions.

Today's episode is about the 2nd Battle of New Orleans. The fight to develop an interstate system in New Orleans, including an expressway along the Riverfront and an overpass that destroyed the community of the Tremé.

Join me as we discussed these projects, the proponents and opposition, and the impact of these decisions.

Join me and Polly Watts, owner of The Avenue Pub, as we discuss what it is like to operate a New Orleans business during COVID. We discuss safety, employees, Mardi Gras, and more.

Join me as we talk about Louisiana as a sportsman's paradise. We also answer listener questions covering a wide variety of topics.

In this episode, I talk with Ed Branley, author, historian, podcaster and contributor at GoNOLA.com. Together, we dive into the Battle of New Orleans.

Imagine this: You are standing in Jackson Square. You look up at Andrew Jackson atop his horse and wonder why he's there. Sure, you know about the battle of New Orleans, but what was New Orleans like in the period leading up to the War of 1812?

As the battle approached, what did New Orleanians think and feel about it? What did they think would be the outcome? How about the major players in the battle itself?

Listen in as we discuss these ideas and more. By the end of today's show, you'll get a sense of the battle itself, and also of New Orleans in the early 1800s. I enjoyed the conversation and know you will, too!

Today’s episode is about Mardi Gras 2021.

More specifically, about the COVID-induced changes and what they mean for Carnival season.

I'm joined by Mardi Gras expert Arthur Hardy to discuss what we're likely to see and how it will be different.

Today’s episode is devoted to books about New Orleans. If you’re caught up on Netflix and want to spend some time reading instead, this one’s for you. I recorded this in December 2020. Even if you are listening years from now, this will help you get to know the city better whether you are planning a trip or just wanting to stay connected with New Orleans.

We’ve done 125 episodes. Talked to many authors. This is the 2nd time I'm doing a show like this one. The first was back in episode 111.

Here’s what this is not. It is not a top 10 list. It’s not a comprehensive list. It’s just a list of very good books about New Orleans, across several categories.

Ready? On to the books!

Today's episode is about the Honey Island Swamp, located 45 minutes from the French Quarter.

I'm joined by Jessica Gauley, CEO of Honey Island Kayak Tours. We kayaked with Matt May, Sarah Megan Jenkins, and Chanelle 'Nell' Bentz.
